Different Jigs

This jigs was for putters

This jig was for doing button. It was done on cardboard so that the customer could press his buttons into the round holes and they would stick.

Here are the buttons pressed into the jig and sprayed with Thermark (Cermark).

Here is another pocket knife jig cut into acrylic. To make this jig required me to take a picture of the jig and than use the photo to draw out the outer shape of the knife so that I could cut it with the laser machine

Wooden key tag jig created out of cardboard

Here is a bit of a different jig for another wooden key tag

This jig does key tags.

Here are the key tags line up on the jig

Here is knife jig to hold a number of knives. I have a metal sheet under this jig (made of wood) to add strength.

All the knives lined up in the Fiber Laser

Lots of pens on this jig

Hmm a nice flex glass 🙂

I had too cut the bottom to shape so that the glass would fit in the jig
